Since I've been gone I've drifted away from swords and the likes and more towards armour, specifically chainmaille.

So far I've made a coif, quite a few bits of jewellry, most of which I've sold and I've started on a hauberk.

The coif is simple european 4 in 1 weave starting from an expanding circle, I also added a bishops mantle onto it. Somehow I managed to get a kind of ridge around where the expanding circle ends and turns into a plain sheet, I don't know how it got there, but I quite like it, so I'm leaving it.

Of the necklaces; the top one is a half-persian 3 in 1 weave, the second one down is a full persian weave, and the bottom one is a byzantine weave.

At the moment I'm mainly working on the hauberk but still making occasional necklaces and bracelets, the hauberk's going to take a really long time though, mainly because I'm making it to fit me and I'm pretty big.

If I get bored of making simple big sheets for the hauberk I'll probably try making a pair of gauntlets, seeing as they're both intricate and cool.

Anyway, that's the extent of my mailling so far.

Would like to see a couple of pictures of your coifs blackbird, to see what other peoples look like.

Very very nice work mate love the fancy weaves Honestly I've only just started on my 2/3rd attempt at making a coif fer ages I couldnt get the hang of making the mail lay properly and last time I tryed I only had enough links fer a skullcap and I ended up giving that to me neice 8)

We are very new & subsequently are in need of interesting additions, we have a garbe creation sub-forum, this would go very well as our first item there.

All the best,

Attila.
